READ
Luke 16:10-13 NLT
10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. 11 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? 12 And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own? 13 No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.”

REFLECT
God blesses us with abundance because we are His people not because He is expecting payback. We are called to honor Him with our wealth. How can you do this? Use your finances to benefit others. You honor God when you think of others; and when you bless others.
